AN EARLY BLAZE.
A Residence Burned to the Ground
No Insurance.

At about O'Clock Tuesday morning
fire was discovered in the house owned
by Mr.. Fritz Khtz, and situated on Plum
street, about half block east of the
Omaha railroad track. The alarm was
sounded and brought out the fire depart
ment in quick time, but not before the
building was well afire. Some delay in
getting stream Of water was caused by
ice that hindered the connection of the
hose to the hydrant. The bursting of a
section of old hose also caused delay.
BY the time that stream of water could
be finally turned on, the entire building
was enveloped in flames, and it was evil
dent that nothing could save it. The
nearest hydrant was on Third street,
and $50 feet of hose was required to
reach the burning building, nevertheless
a strong stream was secured.
The building is an old story and half
structure, and had recently been pur-
chased by Mr.. Kutz, an employee in the
big mill. He had moved it to his lot
and had only completed repairing it n
week ago, and was to have moved in to-
day. The loss is 800, with no lnsur-
ance.
AS there was no stove in the building
it is thought that some one set fire to it.
Mr.. Kutz does not think that it was a
tramp that did it, though there is no clue
to the incendiary. The fire was seen to
start in one corner of the house. 1t is
fortunate that no household goods had
been placed in the building.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The regular meeting of the board OF
trade was held Monday morning in the
board of trade rooms with full attend
ance despite the cold weather.
An appropriation of so was made to
help pay for pamphlet issued as a re-
suit of the $500" convention held last
July.
The hospital matter was discussed and
the committee continued.
The matter of fire protection was thor
oughly discussed and the danger that
the city is in from lack of proper pro-
lection was shown and impressed upon
each member of the board. 1t was rec
commended by the presidentand several
members that the city should have
some other facility for fire protection
than the waterworks.
A resolution was adopted asking the
council to provide better fire protection,
and asking it to purchase a chemical en-
CINE.
On motion, a committee consisting of
Messrs J. A. Willard, John Klein and
G. +. Brett was appointed to confer
with the council on the matter.
Various means were suggested to rem
edy the present condition of things, in
Guiding the suggestion to purchase fire
engine that could be used in case the
water supply failed, or outside of the
water system.

A conference of our business men was
held at Mr.. John A. Wizards residence
Friday evening concerning the establish
ment of a Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in our city. After looking at the
matter in all possible lights they were
firmly convinced of the utility of the as
ISOLATION and of its necessity here. AS
to the financial support of the associa-
ton they assured the young men that
they might be depended upon and that
when the subject was placed before the
rest of the business men as it had been
before them, they would gladly subscribe
the $1,000 to $500 needed.
Meanwhile the young men had met
and appointed committee on perma-
nent organization who are to prepare a
constitution and bylaws and to nomi-
nate a board of officers and directors.
There are about hundred Young men
who are ready to enter at once into the
association.

All the Normal classes will from next
Monday meet every day for ten-min.

DISTRICT COURT.

The calendar for the December term
of the District Court, which begins Dec.

mer calendars. The criminal cases are
as follows:
State of Minnesota VS.. Samuel o. Cook
son, to keep the peace, appealed.
State of Minnesota VS.. Anna Jones, as
sault, appealed. -,
State of Minnesota VS.. Joseph Silver,
cruelty to q child.
State of Minnesota vs.. Eliza Silver,
same. =,
State of Minnesota VS.. Albert Macbeth
and Frederick DoolIttle, assault in the
third degree.
The following are the cases that will
come before the Grand jury:
Christian Miller, larceny of horse.
John Ennis, larceny of a watch.
Asher A. Morgan, bigamy.
Hester Ann Simmonds, bigamy.
Constantine Guntzel, assault in the
second degree.
o. Murphy, larceny of beer.

during the coming term of court.

Sheriff Piper received a telegram

here He will be brought back this
evening. kilograms and notices had
Oeen sent in every direction, in hopes
that Ennis might be intercepted, anu
reward of S25 was offered for his cap

relieved.
THANKSGIVING was very generally and
quietly observed in this city. Indeed,
it almost seemed like Sunday. One
pleasant feature of the day was that
there was no drunkenness, an unusual
thing on such occasions. Very nearly
all of the stores were closed during the
day, though many opened up in the
evening. The slight fall of snow had
the effect of keeping people indoors and
the streets were very quiet and had a
deserted appearance. Services were
held at the Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches and were we'll attended.
